Notepad++ v7.8.7 release

2020-06-08

Here are some important changes in this new release 7.8.7:

• A long-time limitation/bug in new style save dialog has been fixed. Now the right file filter is selected while save dialog is triggered. The corresponding extension is added automatically while the file extension filter is changed in combobox.
• The clickable link feature is enhanced to fix a break syntax highlighting issue, and to improve some performance issue. Its look (on hovered) has also been improved.
• Regex backward searches is disallowed due to sometimes surprising results. However, an non-UI option is available to enable it. Check the point Allow regex backward search to learn how to enable the backward searches of regex.

More enhancements & bug-fixes (for Project Panel, Document Map… etc) are included in this version. Please check the change log in the download page for more details.
